A+ College Ready’s Fall Workshop for teachers in grades 6 – 10 (11 for pre-calculus) is designed as follow-up training for teachers implementing the course specific curriculum presented at the A+ College Ready E3 four-day summer training event .  The workshop is designed to deepen teachers’ content knowledge, to expand on pedagogical skills associated with the lessons, and to strengthen implementation strategies such as differentiation, assessment, technology infusion, etc.
Attendance at this workshop is an expectation for teachers who have signed a Letter of Agreement (LOA) with A+ College Ready for the 2018-2019 school year. This training is not a substitution for teachers who have not attended course specific training and access to the full set of curricular materials is not included with attendance at this training.  Program school teachers’ eligibility for the $75 stipend for completing a reflection for the fall workshop is dependent on FULL DAY ATTENDANCE during the training day.
